For 2011 one of Audemars Piguets exotic complication pieces will be this Millenary Minute Repeater watch. I was told by Audemars Piguet that their Millenary line is undergoing an overhaul. Looks like 2011 will not be the year we see new Millenary cases and style, but we will see this sophisticated Minute Repeater with another interesting balance wheel and [...]

As there is a deep place in my heart for wild and complex watches, so too is there is place in my heart for the tasteful and simple. Honestly, some days you want a watch that soothes and elevates, as opposed to one that boggles the mind. The Audemars Piguet Jules Audemars Extra-Thin is really a poster child timepiece of the new movement towards [...]

An interesting time at the various Audemars Piguet watch manufacture facilities leads to an interesting article I wrote in Haute Living. The full text of the Audemars Piguet manufacture article is here, but Ive gone ahead and put images from the visit in the gallery below. Enjoy, I think AP fans and general watch lovers will find it a good read. [...]

A new Formula 1 driver -based watch from Audemars Piguet is this new Royal Oak Offshore Jarno Trulli. Boy, it sure is nice, but looks very little like where these watches looked as though they have been evolving. It is possible that ending with the AP ROO Grand Prix, designer Octavio Garcia felt that the designs of brands race themed watc [...]

AP is on a boat! (by the way, the video below is the censored version I realize that erring on the side of caution here as our friends in Switzerland in the watch brand marketing departments sometimes have weaker constitutions than we do. The uncensore [...]

Please enjoy the original article below by Meehna Goldsmith a watch matchmaker. She calls Los Angeles home but travels the world spreading the horologic gospel and finding people their perfect watch match. She contributes to publications such as the Financial Times, American Express Magazines, Robb Report Watch Collector, International Watch, and as the U.S. correspondent for [...]

Audemars Piguet is pissed. If youve been watching the brand for the last 10 years or so, youd notice a lot of Formula 1 themed limited edition watches in the Royal Oak Offshore collection. Seeing them could easily lead you to believe that Audemars Piguet (AP) and F1 has some type of bond. And recently that relationship ended. Hublot yet again- took out from under AP [...]

This year Audemars Piguet is of the brands releasing a lot of new watches. The most visually exciting of which is this Royal Oak Offshore Grand Prix watch collection. Each is in a limited edition, so these arent permanent additions to the collection. There are three luxurious versions and [...]

Part of me has a love/hate relationship with Audemars Piguet. I really enjoy many of their watches, although I dont think they are perfect. Some of their designs are so classic and still h [...]

From a design standpoint I consider this watch to be the pre-cursor of the Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Offshore Survivor watch. Look at the two watches adn you will agree that this Rubens Barrichello II li [...]

I am always curious as to what the thought process is when admirable watch makers design watches after cars. They never seem to look too much like the cars they are modeled after. this might be a bit of an exception as at least th [...]

I like to share with people that luxury mechanical watch movements are so meticulously decorated. Most of what is spent weeks or months working on will never be viewable to anyone save for other watch makers. It is true, the highest-end watch m [...]

This is either the weirdest or coolest Audemars Piguet watch around depends on your point of view. This is the $50,000 plus Royal Oak Offshore Survivor a watch meant to look like it can survive the next 5 or so world wars being worn by the heroes of battle. Conversely, this is [...]

This is an interesting limited edition watch that combines everything I like about diving themed watches and the Audemars Piguet Royal Oak lines of watches. Bearing the name of Wempe, a? li [...]

The below thoughts are by John Cunningham, a fellow watch lover. I asked him to comment on this TheTimeTV video from the perspective of a more mature watch lover -as was interested in his response to the marketing approach taken by Audemars Piguet in presenting the [...]

You know that I have been economically deluded by the watch world when I hear that a watch costs around $35,000, only to think, that sounds like a really good price. Not that I can afford it, I just wouldnt expect an 18k rose gold-c [...]

Elitist watch maker Audemars Piguet sells watches for people who easily remark, my watch cost more than your car. With all this money to spend, they get a bit generous with big shots like Presidents and big-shot actors. In this case Audemars Piguet created timepieces for both former President Bill Clinton and actor/Califo [...]

1972 was a landmark year in the luxury watch industry for a variety of reasons, but perhaps the most impactful event to come out of that year was the introduction of the Audemars Piguet Royal Oak. Produced at a time when the traditional Swiss industry was in danger of collapsing under the weight of affordable quartz-powered Japanese competition, the Royal Oaks avant-ga [...]

2022 marks the 50th birthday of Gerald Gentas market-defining Audemars Piguet Royal Oak, which was just recently refreshed with iterative updates across the iconic collection. Among the newly launched pieces is the follow-up to what is arguably the most desirable -?and rarest?-?member of the collection with the new Royal Oak 16202 Jumbo. The original integrate [...]

There are more new Code 11.59 watches for 2021, including this particularly attractive (and high) skeletonized tourbillon version. What is the most immediately distinctive about the novel reference 26600CR.OO.D009KB.01 Audemars Piguet Code 11.59 Tourbillon Openworked is the two-tone case, which makes use of both 18k white and pink gold. Audemar [...]
